------------------------------------------------------
From: Jamie Iles <jamie.iles@oracle.com>
Subject: scripts/sortextable: support objects with more than 64K sections.
Building with a large config and -ffunction-sections results in a large
number of sections and sortextable needs to be able to handle that.
Implement support for > 64K sections as modpost does.
